Chose this ship because it sailed out of our home port area. The convince of leaving from a home port is a plus. This was our third cruise but first time on Carnival. I wasn’t as impressed as I was on our Royal Caribbean cruises but we still had a great time. The dinning room food was just okay and shows were good but not enough variety.
We enjoyed the Best of Bermuda excursion. Though 5 ...
This cruise was advertised quite reasonably so we booked. Also, we could drive to the port. That was the good part. Also, the dining room was wonderful! Both the service and the food were way above average. We really enjoyed the music duo Magic and Music - so much talent! Great tunes to dance to. Now the ugly; the Lido Marketplace is disgusting. Long lines to wait for slop! If you only want to ...
This was our first cruise and from the initial line to get onboard which took 4 hours to clear and delayed departure by 3 hours, long lines were a common occurrence on the ship. Coupled with a number of different communications from staff members on the guest services desk compared to what was being said by our cruise director made for some confusing and unpleasant situations. As this was our ...
I chose this cruise as Port Canaveral was drivable from my home. I took my daughters, daughter in law, 5 grandkids and 1 great grandaughter. We only got to dock in Nassau and had light rain that day (our first day) so didn't do much. We were not able to dock the following day in Princess Cays and as we missed that, they were going to take us to Freeport the next day. Weather didn't permit that ...
3 in a row on this particular boat in the last 6 months. I won't get into all of the specifics, but I am a platinum member a few weeks short of being diamond. I also cruise royal caribbean and norwegian.
Here are a few things that happened. A few........I could write a lot more.
1st one - room flooded. Carnival left me in a room where floor was completely wet for two days. The room smelled ...
Left New Orleans,with expectations of seeing Key West, Freeport Bahamas and Nassau Bahamas. BIT , hurricane Ian out a big monkey wrench in that and we instead went to Mohigany Bay Honduras, Belize City,and Cozomel Mexico. Ended up being a very great decision,and a very safe one. Our stateroom was very spacious, and I love the balcony. The room was always hot ,( never felt comfortable till the last ...
Carnival Cruise Line is known as the Fun Ships and they definitely are fun! This was my 7th Carnival Cruise and 9th overall cruise.
We boarded the Carnival Magic in Manhattan New York. The boarding process was pretty easy and very organized. The only problem with Manhattan Terminal is that they do not let you wait anywhere, so you have to arrive on time and depart quickly.
For those of you ...
This was the 4th carnival cruise since the restart and sadly the most disappointing experience of all 4. I booked this as a last minute 5 day get away knowing the ship was dated and the cruise ports might change because of the growing storm that hit grand turks.
Cons/Pros
Multiple maintenance issues in cabin: burned out overhead light, door lock inoperable, sewage smell outside door, ...
We just got back from Hawaii on Sept 30th and this cruise was anything but a Miracle. It started out with 4 sea days which wasn't so bad but it was not only a family vacation but also for my 10 year anniversary. There were about 28 of us in total. I had a stateroom on 1 and found out the first week that the cruise that had just disembarked the ship from Alaska had a lot of covid cases and that ...
Where do I start. Many are repeats from past trips but, with no changes from past Carnival trips, it is obvious these common complaints are not a priority to the company.
First and foremost, this ship has raw sewage leaks throughout. Certain hallways had the nauseating smell the entire cruise. Other areas seemed to have an intermittent smell. Either way it is disgusting. 100s of complaints and ...
